Because of upcoming repairs, this flood gate - part of German coastal defense infrastructure, needs to be drained. Enter Terex 1605M! This Atlas wheel excavator is serving us well as a mobile crane. Capable of lifting massive 3 tons steel locks, carrying them over seawall without damage to the wall’s surface then sliding those stoplogs precisely into guide grooves of the concrete wall. Ones stacked on top of each other this artificial dam is made waterproof by additional foil membrane. Submersible sewage slurry pump is being lowered to dredge the remaining water out of the weir.
